Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived here on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses. Please, take some time to visit the other participants and see what others are reading. So, let’s get to it!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

Currently reading: I made a point of reading Becoming Madame Mao by Anchee Min during two lunches last week. I think I’m finally past the halfway point! Only a few more months to go…
I passed disk 20 of A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin. It’s great and I’m adoring it, but it feels like such an uphill battle with how long it is.
Nothing with A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, still on hold.
I made good progress with Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray because of my runs this past week. I had to renew it, but there won’t be a need for a second renewal to be sure.
I have to return Writing Fiction for Dummies by Randy Ingermanson and Peter Economy today or tomorrow. I’m racing to finish it. Wish me luck!

Recently finished: Second week in a row of nothing. I hope I can break the streak soon!

I did post my review of Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime so there’s that at least! This break in finishing books has finally let me catch up on reviews.

Reading Next: I’m a bit nervous that I won’t start Wolf’s Mouth by John Smolens soon. I need to have it finished by the end of the month and I’ve been really slow with physical books lately. I’m hoping it sweeps me away and I finish it in no time!

Leave a comment with your link and comment (if you’re so inclined). Take a look at the other participant links in the comments and look at what others are reading.

Oh wow, disk 20? That’s…a lot. I remember how it took me forever to catch up to the series but ASOIAF was a ride worth experiencing. And I hope you’ll get out of the slump with physical books soon. It’s hard especially if you’re excited to read the book but the slump’s like “NAH”.

I’m still amazed at how you can read so many books at once, and so many BIG books. xD Good luck getting Writing Fiction for Dummies finished! Wolf’s Mouth sounds really good, and I hope you do just get sucked in and whiz through it!

I can imagine the audiobooks of The Song Of Ice And Fire series being superlong! You’ve reminded me I should try and pick up Lair Of Dreams some time soon as well. Have a wonderful week and happy reading! Here’s my WWW.

I found Writing Fiction for Dummies really useful when I started writing. I borrowed mine from the library, too, but I soon knew I’d want to keep it to hand so I bought a secondhand copy. I’ve just (6 years later) donated it to a charity book fair. It’s been consulted many times in those years. Just a really practical guide.
